More about this title

About the Artist: Disturbed

Disturbed formed in Chicago in 1994 and became one of the defining bands of modern metal, known for their heavy riffs, industrial textures, and David Draiman's distinctive vocal approach. The band has sold millions of albums worldwide and built a dedicated following through intense live performances and chart-topping releases that blend aggression with melodic sensibility.

Why we love this

This track gives guitarists a chance to work through heavy, rhythmic riffing with enough textural variety to keep things engaging. The TAB format removes transcription guesswork, so students can focus on nailing the tone, timing, and dynamics that make modern metal guitar compelling.

What to expect

Heavy and hypnotic, with a driving riff that builds intensity through repetition and layering. The song pulls you into its rhythm and doesn't let go, balancing aggression with enough groove to make it memorable.

Who it's for

Guitar students who want to explore heavy music and develop their chops in a contemporary metal context. This works well for intermediate to advanced players looking to expand their repertoire beyond traditional styles and build confidence with distorted, rhythmically complex material.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lock into a tight, consistent pick attack on the main riff. The power and clarity of this song depends on rhythmic precision, not speed.
  • Use palm muting strategically to shape dynamics between sections. Lifting the mute slightly can create tension as the riff builds.
  • Dial in your gain and tone before you start. Modern metal requires a solid foundation of gear tone to sit properly in the mix.
  • Practice the riff slowly with a metronome first, then gradually increase tempo. Accuracy at speed matters more than jumping straight to full speed.

How to use it

Feature this in a recital or showcase event that celebrates diverse musical styles and student interests. It's equally valuable as a practice piece for building technical control and confidence in a genre that many young guitarists are drawn to.

Skills your students will build

  • Controlling dynamics and articulation with distortion
  • Playing accurate rhythms in heavy, syncopated patterns
  • Reading and executing TAB notation fluently
  • Building endurance for repetitive riffing
  • Shaping tone through palm muting and pickup control
